The picture really does this watch no justice it is even more beautiful in person. I bought it as a gift, and was really happy with how well made it is especially the leather strap , and the finish of it was stunning!

So I wanted to buy a cheaper watch that still looked good for university. Having not owned a Sekonda watch before I was a bit concerned about the build and quality of it. Below are a few of my observations:
Look:
The brown strap and dark blue face are a nice contrast which complement each other nicely. The thin minute and hour hands are smart, but also nice and easy to see. Unfortunately there is no second hand on the watch which might cause issues if anyone uses their watch for timing things I use mine as a second reference in the lab when timing experiments. A minor thing, but an issue nonetheless. The rose gold metal ties the two nicely. Overall a very nice looking watch.
Feel:
Having used metal straps for a long time, adjusting to a leather strap is strange at first but comfortable after a while. Im sure as it gets older it will become more suited to my wrist. There is one fixed harness and one movable one to strap down the loose ends. The fixed one is perhaps too close to the buckle for my liking. The diameter of the face is 38mm, and with the metal bits which attach the strap the length is 42mm. Smaller than Im used to, but a good size. This watch is also quite light at 30g.
Summary:
+ Nice colour combination, striking to look at.
+ Lightweight
+ Quiet ticking could be a negative
+ Date on the bottom of the face, easy to read and very useful as I always forget
- Not water resistant. Bit worried if this gets wet in the rain
. Neutral point: battery operated. This is good because you dont have to wind it up all of the time but annoying when it has to be changed.
- No second hand
